How does a person approach life and sports in a way that maximizes performance, enhances self-understanding, and promotes trusting relationships with others?

Steve Wilkinson's life work—shared in this book—answers that question.

His approach has impacted varsity players at Gustavus Adolphus College, students studying world religions and sport ethics, and thousands of people attending Tennis and Life Camps. In this book, Wilkinson teaches people how to let go of things outside their control and to focus on the things they can change. His surprisingly simple insights provide a life philosophy that is out of step with the mainstream, but timeless in its wisdom.

"A powerful, life-changing philosophy... Wilkinson gets it. His approach combines the drive for competitive excellence with a caring humanitarian perspective and delivers a unique perspective for dealing with adversity." -Billie Jean King

To us you are more than a tennis player. Yes, we refine your strokes, emphasize strategy, and provide action oriented drills. But we also heighten your confidence, concentration, and motivation. All these areas help you reach the next level of tennis play.

Improving and having fun go together. We encourage you to praise each other’s successes with words, smiles and high fives. We are enthusiastic teachers, giving you constant feedback as you master new skills. Humor, laughter, and acting are always present in our teaching.

Principles learned from tennis do apply to school challenges, office tasks, and relationships with family and friends. Learning to focus on controllable elements and to be serene with things outside your influence is valuable wisdom for both tennis and life.

I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED TLC! Your instructors are incredibly knowledgeable. In addition, the LIFE portion is equally valuable. I don’t know if I can properly express just how valuable your staff are in positively affecting peoples’ lives. —camper, Madison, WI
